J. Evans Rice, III

Evans Rice defends clients against government enforcement actions, minimizing the impact to their business and reputation. His practice centers on white collar criminal defense, internal investigations, and corporate compliance.

Evans' criminal enforcement experience includes defending companies and individuals against allegations of corruption, collusion, money laundering, sanctions violations, environmental crimes, and violations of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Many of the matters he handles are multi-jurisdictional, requiring careful analysis of privacy and data protection laws, as well as coordination among various state regulators. Evans also has significant experience in congressional investigations and previously served as counsel to the United States Senate Judiciary Committee. In the civil context, Evans defends financial institutions and other clients in investigations and litigation under the False Claims Act and consumer finance laws and regulations.

Before joining Hogan Lovells, Evans was a federal prosecutor at both the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice and the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. In 2007 he received the Assistant Attorney General's Award for Superior Performance in securing multiple trial victories in official misconduct cases.

Following law school, Evans clerked for the Honorable Samuel G. Wilson of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia.
